The 1975

Sorry about not posting in a while, but since I did a post about a band last time I thought I would continue on that theme as I have much to tell. The 1975 are a band from Manchester again! I am not picking bands from my hometown on purpose by the way. Anyway I have got into them a lot recently and they have just started to make it big appearing on BBC radio 1 a lot and playing all kinds of festivals in the U.K and all over. There bringing an album out on the 9th of September and I think it is going to be a very good first album for them.


There biggest hit is chocolate which my girlfriend Catherine is not a big fan of but I think its a great song and is very different. I am also going to see them live in September with Cat so I hope she enjoys the gig and hopefully the band will grow on her as she does not mind the other songs. I am much looking forward to this gig not only because its The 1975 but I think when you have never seen a band live before its a lot more special than if you have seen them 4 times or so. Lets hope it turns out well, for any of you interested it is at the Ritz in Manchester but they have many other live dates and are going all across the U.K, America and the rest of Europe.

 
Matt Healy and the Fender mustang

Matt Healy is the lead singer in the band, I am starting to learn to play myself and buying the same guitar as him as I love the colours on the guitar and I have heard its also good for someone who is starting out to play. The guitar is the Fender Mustang and is a vintage version of it, the picture below is it up close. I have been working on my own songs which hopefully I can show you sometime in the near future.


All these pictures on this post are not mine and I don't own the rights to them. Anyway I hope you check them out and love them as much as me I will leave a link to there website below.
